PikkonMG Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 What XML configuration would be needed to run Android on a vm within unRAID. Looking at doing this as a budget setup with my echo to control my TV, using something like Anymote or Broadlink RM Pro. Reason is some of the setup that don't use a SmartHub need an always on Android device to bridge to the echo figured why waste a tablet or phone if a Android VM can be used. Just clueless on the howto as far as getting Android VM up and going on unRAID. Link to comment
PikkonMG Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Could someone move this to VM Templates or VM Engine thread. Link to comment
Squid Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Android generally runs on the ARM architecture instead of x86, which unRaid's KVM does not currently support. In order to get this to work you would have to run say a Windows VM with an Android emulator running within it. Probably far far easier with less aggravation to make use of that old phone sitting in your drawer with the cracked screen that you're never going to use... Link to comment

bnevets27 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 There is a thread around here somewhere with someone trying to get android running on unraid. I think they partly succeeded but it wasn't really usable. On mobile so search sucks. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment
